Remove any dirt or dust from the mains plug’s pins before connecting to the power supply.

• Dust build-up on the mains plug can cause insulation failure, especially in humid conditions. This can cause short

circuit, re or electric shock. Unplug the mains lead and wipe it with a dry cloth. Never use a wet or damp cloth.

Plug your appliance into the socket, making sure the connection is secure.

• A loosely connected mains plug can cause re or electric shock.

Install the refrigerator in a well-ventilated area.

• The more refrigerant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. If there’s a refrigerant uid

leak, and the appliance is in a small room, the build up of combustible gases is more likely. This can cause re or

explosion. As a guide, for every 8

g of coolant, you’ll need at least 1 cubic metre of space in the room. The data plate

inside the appliance tells you how much refrigerant your refrigerator contains.

The refrigerant (R600a) used in the refrigerator and the gases in the insulation material (cyclopentane) are both

ammable. They also require special disposal procedures.

• Before you dispose of the appliance, make sure none of the pipes on the back are damaged. Refrigerant or gas leaks

can cause re or explosion.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and servicing.

• Failure to do this can cause electric shock.

If you smell burning or see smoke coming from the refrigerator, disconnect the power immediately and please

consult authorized service centre.

• Failure to do this can cause re or electric shock.

-WARNING:

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure

or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

• Failure to do this could result in re or explosion because

refrigerant cannot disperse if it leaks.

CAUTION

Indicates risk of injury or damage to property.

Do not put glass bottles or containers in the freezer.

• When the contents freeze, the glass may break and cause injury.

Do not touch the inside walls of the freezer or items stored in the freezer with wet hands.

• Your skin can become frozen onto the interior wall, or items stored in the freezer.

If there’s a power cut, avoid opening the refrigerator frequently or putting unchilled

food in it.

• This can cause the temperature in the refrigerator to rise and adversely affect sanitation.

Also, be careful of the gap between the fridge and freezer doors, especially if they are

both open at the same time.

• This may cause personal injury.

When opening the refrigerator, be careful not to pinch your ngers at the “pinch point”

areas. In particular, when opening the fridge door, be careful to avoid the potential

pinch point between the fridge and freezer doors.

• This can cause personal injury.

Installation

This section explains how to install your appliance for the most energy-efcient, safe and quiet operation.

Dimensions

W600 x D633 x H2000 (mm)

Unpacking your appliance

Remove all packaging and tape.

Choosing the right location

Ventilation

As the appliance gives off heat during operation, it should be installed

in a well-ventilated, dry room with plenty of space above and behind it,

as shown in Figure 1.

If you can hear it vibrating, it needs more space.

(However, if there is a wall on the side of the refrigerator, a space of

32.5 mm or more is required on the hinge side for the doors to open

90° or more.)

Temperature

The room temperature affects the refrigerator’s energy-efciency, i.e.

how much electricity it uses to chill and freeze foods.

For the best results, install your refrigerator:

● away from direct sunlight

● away from radiators, cookers or other heat sources

● where the room temperature corresponds to the climate

classication for which the appliance is designed. Refer to the

Specications Section for your appliance’s climate classication.

● Extreme temperatures or environmental conditions may have

negative impact on its performance.

Stored food may spoil.

Level

After carefully positioning the appliance so as not to damage oor

surfaces, install on a level oor that’s strong enough to support a fully

loaded refrigerator.

You can adjust the level of the refrigerator by screwing or unscrewing

the two adjustable legs as shown in Figure 2.

This prevents vibration and noise.

If the appliance is to stand on a carpeted or vinyl oor, put a solid board

underneath it rst. This will protect your oor against possible colour

change due to heat given off by the appliance.

Refrigerator door

The refrigerator’s door hinges can be swapped over, from the right side

to the left, so that the doors open in the opposite direction. If this is

more convenient in your home, please contact our service centre listed

on the attached sheet or access to our Web site

(http://www.panasonic.com).

We could not be held responsible if you replace the hinges by yourself.

Installing the distance guides

The appliance is supplied with two distance guides which should be

installed on the lower part of the housing to prevent from pushing the

appliance too close to the wall. Appliance may also be installed without

the spacers; however, this may increase power consumption.

Insert the distance guides into the holes circled in the gure. (The

distance guides are included in the bag that contains the manual and

other items.)

Cleaning

After installation, wipe the appliance clean with warm water.

Connecting the mains plug to the household mains socket

After the appliance is plugged, all symbols will appear for a moment, and then the startup values will appear as -18 °C on

freezer setting indicator and 5 °C on fridge setting indicator.

All buttons on the control panel are touch-operated. (Only press to activate the button you want to operate.)

Notes:

• Cooling may take longer in the summer months or at other times when the room temperature is higher.

• If you need to unplug the refrigerator, wait at least 10 minutes before you plug it back in again. If not, you might damage

the compressor.

• If you’re not going to use the refrigerator for a long time, unplug it from the mains.

Ambient room temperature

You’ll nd your refrigerator’s climate classication on the rating plate in the left side of the fridge compartment. It shows

the room temperature the appliance is designed to work in.

Climate classication Permitted ambient temperature

SN (Extended Temperate) +10 °C to 32 °C

N (Temperate) +16 °C to 32 °C

ST (Subtropical) +16 °C to 38 °C

T (Tropical) +16 °C to 43 °C

For saving energy

1. Install the refrigerator in a dry, cool and well-ventilated room. (Please refer to Page 6 for dimensions and clearance.)

2. The combination of drawers and shelves that result in the largest in volume and the most efcient use of energy for the

refrigerator.

• Remove the top and middle drawers of the freezer.

• Attach the drawers and shelves in the refrigerator to the positions illustrated on the section of “Parts” (P.8).

3. Do not over ll the refrigerator to allow the air to circulate.

4. Open the doors only when necessary and as briey as possible.

5. Occasionally clean the ventilation openings at the bottom of the refrigerator with a vacuum cleaner, etc.

6. When setting to Super Freeze Mode, Flash Freeze Mode or Super Cool Mode, power consumption will be increased.

The high fresh lm cassette is xed with claws. Remove the cassette and wash it with water. After washing the cassette

with water, drain it and wipe any remaining water drops before attaching. If stains are hard to remove, carefully wash the

cassette with a mild kitchen detergent (neutral) and a soft cloth, and wash the detergent away with water.

Cleaning the control panel

The refrigerator’s control panel is made of delicate materials. To protect its surfaces, do not clean it with solvent based

chemicals. Simply wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

Cleaning the outside of the refrigerator

Use a warm, damp, soft cloth to clean the outside of your refrigerator. For more stubborn marks, use a mild kitchen

detergent and wipe away with a soft damp cloth. Remove any remaining surface water with a dry cloth.

Notes for cleaning

When cleaning inside or outside your refrigerator, do not use:

● alkaline detergents - they can crack plastic parts.

● grinding dust, soap powder, oil-based cleaners, hot water, brushes, acids, benzenes, solvents or alcohol-based

solutions - all can damage the refrigerator’s surfaces and plastic parts.

Make sure you wipe off any stains from edible oils, which can also damage plastic parts.

Maintenance check

● Is the mains lead damaged?

● Does the mains plug get hot?

● Is the mains plug rmly in the mains socket?

If the mains lead is damaged, please consult an authorized service centre. DO NOT attempt to replace these items

yourself.

Extended disuse

If you’re not going to use the refrigerator for a long time, unplug it and clean the mains plug as described above. Then

leave the doors open for 2-3 days. This lets the interior dry out properly, and prevents odour and the build up of mould.

Do not switch the refrigerator on and off repeatedly. It will last longer if you leave it switched on during normal use.

Before moving or transporting your refrigerator

① Remove all items.

② Unplug it.

③ Raise the adjustable leg.

④ Pull, or ‘walk’ the refrigerator towards you.

⑤ Put a cloth on the left corner of the evaporation pan. Slant the

refrigerator for the cloth to absorb water. (Be sure there is no

remaining water.)

If the trouble persists, disconnect the mains plug and contact your dealer or an authorized service centre.

General

You hear unusual sounds from the

refrigerator.

• Has the refrigerator been installed on a sturdy and level oor?

• Have sufcient clearances been provided around the refrigerator?

• Is anything vibrating on the top of the refrigerator?

• It’s normal to hear some noises when the refrigerator starts or stops operation.

You hear a sound after the

compressor has shut down.

• This is normal, and is often caused by refrigerant owing back to the

compressor.

You hear a sound after you have

opened or closed the door.

• This is normal, and is due to the difference in air pressure between the inside

and outside of the refrigerator.

You hear the sound of air or water

owing after you have opened

the door.

• This is caused by refrigerant owing the internal pipework.

You hear a continuous whining

sound.

• This sound is heard while the fan for circulating the cold air is operating.

• Has the food been packed too tightly together or is the room temperature high?

In cases like these, the fan for circulating the cold air runs at high speed so it

makes a loud noise.

The compressor is quite loud. • Has the food been packed too tightly together or is the room temperature high?

In cases like these, the compressor runs hard so it’s normal for the compressor

to be louder.

The compressor has been running

for a long time.

• When the mains plug has been connected for the rst time, the compressor

runs longer than usual in order to cool down the inside of the refrigerator until

the set temperatures are reached.

• Has Super Freeze Mode or Super Cool Mode been set?

• Have the doors been opened and closed frequently? Are the doors completely

shut?

• Have the food items been packed too tightly together or is the room

temperature high?

• When many food items are placed in the refrigerator at one time, the

compressor will need to run for a longer period.

Condensation forms on the

outside of the refrigerator.

• Condensation may form when the humidity in the room is high and is normal.

Wipe it off using a dry cloth.

The outside of the refrigerator

feels hot to the touch.

• After the power of the refrigerator is turned on, the refrigerator may become

warm until the interior of the compartment is sufciently cooled down. The

refrigerator may become warm even after the compartments have been cooled

down. This is due to the operation of the heat radiation pipe equipped on the

refrigerator for the purpose of preventing condensation, and is not malfunction.

The controls on the control panel

cannot be operated.

• Is the power to the refrigerator on?

The alarm sounds. • The fridge door has been left ajar. Close the doors.

and drawers.

• Condensation may form when the door has been opened and closed frequently

or when it has not been shut completely, or when the room humidity is high.

Wipe off the condensation using a dry cloth.

It is hard to open the freezer door. • The door is sometimes difcult to open just after it has been closed.

• The difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the freezer

may sometimes make it hard to open the freezer door. Wait a few moments,

and then try opening the door.
